Hopefully you have figured out a few different ways to maximize your tomato harvest from my last post. One of the ways I suggested you utilize your tomatoes is by making a pasta salad with tomatoes. Personally, I am not a big fan of pasta salad with a mayonnaise base. This pasta salad recipe uses a balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing and tastes delicious with fresh tomatoes. I discovered this recipe from my mother-in-law. This is one of my husbands favorite recipes that his mom used to make him. She gave him the recipe a few years ago for him to someday cook. Sadly, he never learned to cook so I ended up making her recipe.

For this recipe, I usually use cherry tomatoes. You can really use any tomatoes that you may have on hand as long as you dice them. I like using cherry tomatoes because I can just cut them in half. I also used tri-colored pasta for added color, but white or wheat pasta is fine.
